Long Road Home
Chapter 22
Shortly after Emma announced her mother's return from the dead and the other Scorpios had recovered from the shock. Alexis had ushered everyone into the house and had demanded an explanation from her oldest daughters. Mac and Alexis were torn between running out the door and hunting down the one who took Robin away from them or grabbing on to the younger woman and not letting go. Safe to say the couple settled on the later.
After three long hours of retelling the crazy adventure and how one newspaper article led to them finding their sister. Jason and Sam decided to given her parents sometime alone with Robin, Patrick and Emma and decided to take their girls home. While Maxie and Matt had a similar idea and taken Molly and Kristian back to their apartment for a movie marathon.
"Mom, I don't want to put you out." Robin interrupted as her mother moved about setting sheets on the queen size bed, in what used to be her old room. She glanced at the little girl that was curled up on the window seat fast asleep. Emma had been glued to her mother's side, since she first saw her out the window.
"Put me out?" Alexis asked flabbergasted as she turned to face her daughter, "You have just returned from the grave. Making your bed is the least I can do right now."
"I am sorry that you had to go through that." Robin sighed as she took a seat on the bed, "I am sorry that everyone had to go through that."
"We are going to find who did this Robin, I promise you that." Alexis answered as she grabbed Robin's hand.
"Do you think we will? I mean look at the means this person was going through to just get me out of the way."
"Which is why you being alive or rather we knowing you are alive, need to be kept a secret." Alexis breathed as she pulled her daughter to her, "Keeping you at the lake house is going to be the safest place for you right now."
"Considering we don't have a house to go to now and everything." Patrick interrupted as he walked into the room.
"I am going to make sure your father hasn't made a run for the PCPD yet." Alexis smiled as she placed a kiss on Robin's head before she left the room.
"What happened to our house?" Robin asked confused.
"Since the funeral, Emma and I have been staying at Sam's. Right before Sam and Maxie found the lead that led us to you, I signed the papers to sell the house."
"Why did you do that? Selling the house I mean." Robin asked as she pulled the covers back and then moved to the window and picked up Emma.
"Well it doesn't make sense to have to houses. Our house should be finished in the next two months, that's what I am paying for at least." Patrick smirked as he watched Robin as they placed their daughter into the bed.
"Our house, you continued the building even though…." She trailed off as she glanced at Patrick.
"After I had some sense knocked into me I did." Patrick remarked as he pulled her into deep kiss before they both climbed into bed.

"Maxie, really outdid herself this time." Sam smiled as she and Jason stood in the kitchen, "Chloe's room looks amazing for less than two days."
"Kristina is the one who set everything up and I am the one who paid for everything." Jason grumbled as he went to open the fridge that only had a bottle a water and a few bottles of beer, "How does she even have my card."
"She goes through everyone's mail." Sam sighed, "I am going to run to the store." Sam added as she looked around the kitchen. "We are out of everything."
"Can't it wait till morning?" Jason asked as he followed Sam into the entry way.
"Not really, we are out of something I need."
"What is it I will get it?"
"I don't think so, the last time I let you was a disaster." Sam remembered to the last time she asked Jason to run to the store.
-Flashback-
"Why did this have to happen while our parents are out of town?" Maxie companied as she watched as Molly ran around the house in nothing but her underwear.
"Maxie, stop complaining and go to the store." Sam groaned as she pulled the blanket over her more, she was half asleep thanks to her pain pills.
"I can only drive to work and back." Maxie argued as she sent a glare at her bedridden sister. Sam had gone to play flag football with her friends, ended up being tackled by Nikolas which led to her leg being broken in two places.
"I can't go because of my flu medicine." Robin interjected as she came into the living room with a steaming bowl of soup and before she slid on to the couch opposite of Sam.
"Maxie, you need to go to the store right now." Kristina yelled as the thirteen year old stomped into the living room from the bathroom.
"I told you to stay in there until I figure things out." The blonde ordered as she pointed back to the bathroom.
"I don't understand what is happening to me!" Kristina stopped her foot.
"You are going through an amazing change and all that crap!" Maxie yelled back.
"What is happening?" Sam asked as she glanced at her middle sister to Kristina.
"Hell happened; Kristina is getting her period for the first time, the dryer is broken so Molly doesn't have clothes, Robin has the flu and Sam now has a broken leg. All while our parents are out of town."
"I will handle it." Sam muttered as she pulled out her phone and sent a quick text.
"I can drive anywhere without an adult and those two are currently out of commission." Maxie continued to ramble as she paced around the living room.
"How do we not have the right things to deal with this situation?" Kristina asked, "There are four grown woman in this house."
"Same time." Sam and Robin said at the same time.
Ten minutes there was a knock on the door, Maxie rushed to get it was beat to it by a naked five year old. Molly through the door open to show a smiling Jason, who had three large bags in his hand. "Jase." Molly laughed as she lunged herself at his legs.
"Jason, now is not really a good time." Maxie frowned as she tried to pull Molly back into the house.
"I know, Sam called me." Jason answered as he limped into the house with Molly hanging on one of his legs, "I brought Disney movies and coloring books for Robin and Sam, food and these for Kristina." Jason added as he held up three bag, "Was not sure what ones I should get." Jason hesitated as he set them on the floor and moved to set next to Sam.
-End of Flashback-
"Jase, I am capable of running to the store." Sam dismissed as she stood in the hallway as she pulled her coat on.
"I don't understand why you need to run out now. There has to be something in the house for that thing." Jason argued as he watched Chloe make her way down the stairs.
"Jase, the only thing in this house is water, beer and stale crackers." Sam answered, "We are going to grab those girly things." She laughed as Chloe moved to stand next to her, "We will stop at Kelly's and get some real food."
"It late and we just got home."
"It's nine and Chloe is going to be with me." Sam smiled as she placed a kiss on his cheek before she grabbed Chloe's hand and they headed out the door.
"I have some in my bag." Chloe muttered as she and Chloe made their way towards the car.
"I need your help with something and Jason is not going to want me to go alone." Sam informed the teen as she pulled the driver's door open and started the keys.
"So you are bring me along for the ride." Chloe smiled as she climbed into the passenger side and Sam pulled out the driveway.
"Well I think it's important for my daughter to be involved in the family business." Sam grinned, "Her mother's business. I want you as far as possible from your Fathers."
"Thank you." Chloe thanked as Sam's words touched her heart at being included in the Morgan family.
"There is nothing you need to thank me for." Sam disagreed a she reached for the young girls hand and gave it a quick squeeze, "You are a Scorpio-Morgan now. That means that you are going to be spoiled, surrounded by crazy people and involved in schemes."
"Is that what is happening now?"
"Sort of." Sam nodded as she pulled to the side of the street, where a blonde dressed all in black was waiting. She unlocked the door and Maxie hopped into the back.
"Right on time." The blonde greeted, "Look at what I got us." Maxie smiled as she pulled out three radios that would fit right in their ears, "I found them at a spy shop."
"We just need to get proof that I am right." Sam said determined as she pulled back on the road and headed towards the hospital.
"I am just surprised that you didn't figure this out sooner." Maxie remarked.
"You are not the only one, I think my mind has been clouded since the whole Robin being alive thing." Sam said honestly as they pulled into the parking lot.

"There will be no making out in front of our daughters." Jason demanded as Patrick and he stood in front of the teen, "Don't give me that look, I know ten minutes after we leave you are going to invite Ethan over. Sam and Robin did the same thing with us." Jason informed Kristina once he saw the innocent look she was trying to give him.
"Okay." Kristina sighed as Patrick and Jason darted out the door.
"Why are we following Sam? I thought that she was going to the store."
"Sam never goes to the store." Jason remarked as he opened his door, "Plus her GPS says she is at the hospital."
"You GPS my sister?" A voice shouted from the backseat which caused both men to jump and stare at Robin, shocked to see her there.
"You sound like an elephant when you left our room and I am not letting you capture the guy that did this to me without me."
"What do you mean the guy that did this?"
"Sam said that she remembered something and wanted to be stay home and watch you two." Robin explained as she waved for the men to get into the car, "Let's get to this."
